It is noteworthy that it was first conceived as a &quot;compassionate&quot; institution, which at first blush seems preposterous, but on closer examination proves to be true, which should always make us a bit suspicious of anything superficially compassionate.&nbsp;</div><br><div><b>The alternative to slavery,</b> as a by-product of war, was to either make friends with your defeated enemy, or kill him. If for any reason you couldn&#39;t, or didn&#39;t want &nbsp;to, make friends with defeated enemies, then you either had to kill them, or enslave them.&nbsp;</div><br><div><b>The idea of not killing those who were defeated</b>, but rather to exploit them, and their labor, was a cynical move that appealed both to compassion, and narrow self-interest. Underlying it was the ulterior motive of &quot;love of money&quot; profit.&nbsp;</div><br><div><b>Thus the institution of slavery was born,</b>&nbsp;parented by the twin evils of pretend compassionate pity, and &quot;love of money,&quot; these two motives to the exclusion of many other values and considerations moved the hearts and minds of the first slavers and present day slavers. &nbsp;</div><br><div><b>In one guise or another this same human spirit, and conduct, continues today</b> unabated everywhere in the world. This dichotomy has always occasioned the rise of two political parties or coalition of parties, no matter their names to &nbsp;represent them.&nbsp;</div><br><div><b>On the one hand</b> there were those who thought slavery was contrary to God&#39;s will for us, harmful to both the enslaved and the enslavers and to soicety in general, and on the other hand those who favored it for its supposed &quot;compassion&quot; and its capacity to enrich those who showed this &quot;compassion.&quot; That is why this phony compassion and slavery have always gone hand in hand throughout history.&nbsp;</div><br><div><b>The Slaver</b> always felt this need to &quot;take care&quot; (tek ker) of the slave, and always took great pride in how well he treated his &quot;darkies.&quot; Well, free men, miss meals, and sleep in trees or cars, from time to time, when circumstances require, but on the other hand, they are free. The only things that get &quot;taken care of&quot; are pet dogs and cats, and they have these little collars and leashes to signify that. Free men never get taken care of by anyone but themselves.&nbsp;</div><br><div><b>These two viewpoints have come down to us today and are invariably represented by &nbsp;their respective political parties in every nation on earth.&nbsp;</b></div><br><div><b>There are always those</b> who would prefer to plant and harvest their own potatoes, to feed their own family, and those who would prefer forcing someone else to do what they prercieve to be their&nbsp;<i>dirty work</i>.&nbsp;</div><br><div><b>Every society on earth is made up of these two distinct viewpoints,</b> and as they are refined they coalese into two political parties along the lines of &quot;The Party of the Slavers, and the Party of Freedom.&nbsp;</div><br><div><b>These two parties</b> come down through history represented by different names in different times and climes. And these two viewpoints typify the human condition, which is, the condition of the Slave and his Master on one hand, and the condition of the Free, who has no Master on the other.&nbsp;</div><br><div><b>The Enslavement Party</b> always starts out by enslaving some of the people, but always ends up enslaving all of the people, in one way or another, for the master becomes the slave as well. The form all this slaving takes is infinitely variable. It is only the slave system that stays the same over time. Both Nazism and Communism are just different forms of slavery, and the Welfare State favored by the slavers today is just an updated mutant high tech version of the slave plantation of the antebellum South. &nbsp;</div><br><div><b>Whom God set free, is free indeed.</b> That is the position of the Abolitionist anti slavers of all time. While whom the Devil enslaved is enslaved indeed. Either everyone is free or no one is free, and either everyone is a slave, or no one is a slave. The alternative to Freedom is properly Death, not Slavery. If you cannot trust some people to be as free as you, then you must take their lives, NOT enslave them. That may seem like a harsh choice, but history, real compassion, and common sense teaches that there is no other conduct that is good and godly.&nbsp;</div><br><div><a href="http://hdqs.blogspot.com/2011/01/give-to-church.html#links" title="Various Ways You Can Help">Supporting This Work</a></div><br><div><font color="#783F04"><a href="http://www.Hdqs.Blogspot.Com" title="For more information on Founder Ministies">Other Founder Church Sites</a><br></font></div><br>Founder Churchhttps://plus.google.com/108162109547518670245noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9012547228499102583.post-42810612552766786982010-12-29T14:39:00.001-08:002010-12-29T15:59:10.022-08:00Democrat Racism "Whitewash"<span style="color: #660000; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Democrat Racism "Whitewash"</i></b></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></span><br /><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #660000; font-size: medium;"><b><u><i>It is part of their racist history the Democrat Party wants you to forget&nbsp;</i></u></b></span></span></div><span style="color: #660000;"><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">T</span><span style="font-size: medium;">he unholy Main (Lame) Stream Media</span></b><span style="font-size: medium;"> (MSM) being, by its very nature, a prostitute of the Democrat Party, has worked hand in glove with the White Democrat Slave Party since the founding of the Republic.&nbsp;</span><br /><br /></span></span><br /><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #660000; font-size: medium;"><b>To understand this, we must understand the essential core nature of the Democrat Party.</b>&nbsp;Through all times and climes, it has represented a total lack of any principles, even bad principles. It has always been the ultimate opportunist Party. A Party that will do anything, say anything, pretend to be anything, if it &nbsp;only leads then to gaining power, and along with power, the the accumulation of unearned money.<br /><br /></span></span><br /><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #660000; font-size: medium;"><b>Even its evil policies are not held as principled beliefs</b>. It is important to understand this in order to begin to understand exactly what this party is, and how it has operated since the first settler landed on these American shores, and how it has &nbsp;acted throughout history under different names in different societies in different places.&nbsp;</span></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><br /><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #660000; font-size: medium;"><b>The Democrat Party It is a party of pure opportunism</b>. &nbsp;What was Satan if not an opportunist? Did the Prince of Darkness ever do anything out of any principle, even an evil principle? He only saw the <i>opportunity</i> to dominate, control and destroy. And he took advantage of that opportunity by lying which is second nature to any Democrat.&nbsp;</span></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><br /><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #660000; font-size: medium;"><b>If Lucifer</b> could have taken control of the earth by espousing God's principles, and telling the truth he would have done so.

Slavery and the Democrat party are one, joined forever at the hip, because slavery is the ultimate a policy of opportunism. As Clinton's right hand man well described it, &nbsp;"They do it because they can."<br /><br /></span></span><br /><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #660000; font-size: medium;"><b>Everything a Democrat does is "because he can,"</b> not because it is right or wrong. It turns out that in life the opportunity to do wrong is far greater than the opportunity to do right. For every right action there are many more wrong actions possible. In a target &nbsp;there is only one small bulls eye, but in missing that bulls eye there is a vastly larger space to hit.<br /><br /></span></span><br /><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #660000; font-size: medium;"><b>This means that the Democrat Party is a party of liars</b>&nbsp;which all unprincipled opportunists are. They are pathological liars, and even lie when the truth would sometimes serve them better. They lie out of preference, in addition to the utility of lying.&nbsp;</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #660000;">Thus, once again they lie when they accuse everyone else of the very crimes they themselves commit.&nbsp;</span></span></span></div><b><br /></b><br /><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #660000;"><b>To a Democrat, everyone is a racist except themselves</b>, and everyone is a warmonger excepting themselves, and on down the list of public policies. Whatever sin they commit they swear that some others are the true and greater sinners. They have no conscience and thus no remorse, and no repentance for anything they say or do either.&nbsp;</span></span></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><br /><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #660000; font-size: medium;"><b>It is amazing &nbsp;how popular this strategy is.</b> It wins them a full share of power even if never total power. This despite their being wrong on every issue, even when they are right, because <b>even when they are right, they are &nbsp;right for the wrong reasons.&nbsp;</b></span></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><br /><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #660000; font-size: medium;"><b>They are even wrong when they are right, because it was the opportune thing to do at the time, and that is why they did it, not because it was right.</b>&nbsp;</span></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><br /><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #660000; font-size: medium;"><b>If they are for saving the Redwoods</b>, or clean water, or clean air, they are not for these things out of any principles, but because it presents an opportunity for them to advance their power to clamp their slave state mentality once again on the people.&nbsp;</span></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><br /><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #660000; font-size: medium;"><b>They would just as soon oppose environmental concerns</b>, as they have done throughout history.

In the history of the world there have been, basically, only two political parties in every society, the party of principles and the party of opportunism. The party of good and the party of evil. The party of God and the party of the devil.
